April Wedding in June

This wedding was originally scheduled for April, but changed so they could have more guests.

Note the tables and lights for the reception in the barn, as well as the tent, to help with social distancing. The wedding is actually 1/2 mile up the road!

The scene I had after dropping off my taxi customers at the wedding. More guests: Arriving by buggy, bike and vehicle!

Ayrshire

This title will need an explanation for most people, but probably not for most people who speak the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect of German.

An Ayrshire is a breed of dairy cattle that originated from Ayrshire in Southwest Scotland before 1800. In Pennsylvania Dutch “shiah” or loosely pronounced shire means, barn. Therefore since this old barn is letting lots of air through it is called an Ayrshire (airbarn), connecting the English and Pennsylvania Dutch to get the name of a farm animal. I suspect this would be considered a “meme!”

One Step at a Time

I had several taxi runs today, taking ladies garage sale-ing! I am assuming they found some bargains. I bought a saw for myself, and a fidget-spinner for my 96 year-old-mother!

Hovering

A pleasant surprise, while visiting with my Mother.

International Haiku Day

april in Ohio

we see all kinds of weather

today it snowed!

I decided to try to write a haiku, since it was International Haiku Day. I confess, the photo was from this previous winter. Today’s snow was a nice dusting, which was mostly gone by 10 am.

Relaxation

I have more books in 2020 than, I have for a long time. Here I am by a cozy corner of our living room, enjoying a book written by a friend, Frank Yoder. The book talks about the author’s early days in Iowa. They were neighbors to my mother’s family, and had some interaction. So these stories of events in the 20’s and 30’s was an interesting read.
